A survey conducted by the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association found that voice deterioration as a result of MND affects social interactions and confidence in the majority of patients. The ‘Voice4MND’ campaign aims to raise awareness about this symptom and provide support for those affected. Many patients are using speaker aids or voice banking technology to help with communication. Campaign ambassador Howard Grice shared his experience of being diagnosed with MND and the challenges he faces with deteriorating speech. Despite the difficulties, he continues to work and stay active, using technology and support from friends and family to communicate effectively.
